There's a good review here :-

Personally I quite like it now, it's more intuitive to use than Win8 for example, and is touch friendly without harming the desktop interface too much. The sheer speed of Unity too now is impressive, it's back to Gnome2 levels of responsiveness, but with the visual effects, smoothness and GPU acceleration of a Win7/OSX desktop (but better tbh).
I got it downloaded, can't wait to get home and try it out.
its very good.... loving it at the moment.... running centos 6 at work and it's to "raw" for home use i would say, i like something a little prettier for home.
Yep been running it since day one, and yet to have any real issues at all with it (other than the Ubuntu Software Centre being a bit slow, but it's always been like that tbh).
Extremely stable too, I've no hesitation using this at work as a primary OS for a bunch of VirtualBox VM's, rock solid...
have you tried running some games through Wine? On youtube there are a lot of videos of people running games v succesfully with latest linux nvidia drivers etc.....
Of course, been using Wine 1.4 for quite a while now and the compatibility is getting better and better :-Originally Posted by Purextc69

What games do you run through wine then ? I am seriously considering going fully Linux on my home network... I only play CS Source at the moment. I fell out of love for BF3 dont know why really....
Also another thing that ive read is difficult to get working is the likes of a force feedback steering wheel.... I have a logitech G25 and researching that brings up a lot of scary Kernel hacks etc lol....
Are you a terminal man? Or stick with the GUI ?
Played most games on via Steam really, even Skyrim via Steam/Wine runs fine for me
Not sure about steering wheel support, as that's not exactly straightforward on Linux, so you'd have a google around for guides/drivers to get certain models to work.
Either terminal or GUI is fine with me, but it's been a long time since I've used a terminal only Linux distro tbh, most modern GUI's since Gnome do the job for most folks, but it's often a lot easier to work in the terminal for things like system info, updating/installing, building and cleaning up directories etc.
Ah ok sounds good. Going to install Ubuntu on my desktops this weekend. Have you tried ubuntu server?
